1. Schuyler House

Reviewed By John I - Clifton Park, New York
This structure is an enlarged farmhouse which was constructed after General Burgoyne burned down the original. For a purist, it does have the original furnishings. However, it is pretty neat nonetheless. Our excellent tour guide showed us each room, and discussed some of the people who visited here, as well as Philip Schuyler and his businesses. Quite a man with many interests and accomplishments. This place is free to enter, but is not open every day. Best to check in advance.
We spent some time walking the grounds. Interesting to think of all the history that occurred around this structure.

Recently opened for wine tours and tastings. Owners, Gerry and Mary, are very knowledgeable and passionate about their wines. Went with friends and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, especially the wonderful wines we tasted.
Well worth the trip, a lovely way to spend an afternoon! Visit their great web site to set up a visit.

Stopped by after a great meal at Sweet Beet Bistro which happens to serve Argyle brew.
We had the "rough and ready" and "cute little blonde". Both outstanding. Wife loved the black currant cider.
Purchased a growler of rough and ready to go and a bottle of black currant. The cider is not made here but is a local product. Wife loves it and she happens to be a cute little blonde. A bottle of the black currant makes her rough and ready..
It was a great day..
All kidding aside, this place is outstanding. Friendly and very knowledgable about their product. On this day pizza was ordered and served to the standing room only crowd free of charge. We were still full from our great dinner at the bistro so we didn't partake..
Worth a trip from anywhere. Beautiful area loaded with nice people.

Travelling home on a road trip to the East Coast we had highlighted a few different wineries to check out.

This 155 foot tower was erected 100 years after the Battle of Saratoga. It is located next to Schuylerville and worth the 196 steps to the top. It is free. The National Park Service has added the field nearby to the site which is where the British surrendered after the Battle.

Popular recreation area offering Alpine skiing, snowboarding and snow tubing.

The Girl/Boy scouts rented Willard Mountain for a night of tubing. Everyone from little kids to the adults had a great time. The staff was very friendly and made sure the warming stations, inside and out, were always stoked. They even made Smores! A special shout out for the two gentleman and one gal that were pushing the tubes to start them up top. They went above and beyond to make sure we all had "a sweet ride" !! Judging by the treatment we received, I feel that the service would be the same no matter when you went.

i had a very poor experience here= i prepaid for my tickets and arrived 8 min after three for the boat ride i had never been there before so i went to the wrong parking lot - i sent my husband to hand in the tickets and let them know we where there the man at the gate said it was fine come on through and the owner stopped me as i was walking with my baby and said she dropped and it was not safe to board - she never even stopped or waited. the worst part is that it was my husbands birthday and he did not even get to ride.i understand that they have there policy she stated that i would receive a full refund, and i guess i would not be posting this review if it was just that as i was walking aaway she began to engage the crew about the situation and the guest as if she ( the owner) had a right to be upset ,wailing her arms and running her mouth-i still cant rap my head around why she was mad at all beauce shes not the one who paid 80 plus dollars for as boat ride and did not get it. i received an email last night stated i would get my refund back minus 10 service charge . was not worth the money or the time. the women did not appericate my business and had very poor customer service skills , she did apology in the email for her behavior however i would never go back nor recommend- save your money people its not worth the Ramada.

If you’ve been to the Argyle Brewery in Greenwich, then you’ll really appreciate the location of their second tasting room in the old Cambridge train station. Not only is it more roomy, it is also very pleasing, architecturally. Sit and drink outside at a picnic table under the train-riders canopy, or enjoy your choice of brews inside the station under the chandeliers, totally surrounded by the natural wood, tongue and groove walls and ceiling. Make that HIGH ceilings!
We stopped in on a Friday evening and there was a food vender setting up outside. Since we were on our way to dinner in Greenwich, we simply ordered flights – four 4 oz. tastings ($6). Between the two of us, we were able to try all eight of the available offerings. My wife especially liked the 5KIPA (7.2% abv), but also enjoyed the Hop To It IPA (5.5% abv) and the Rough & Ready Red No. 2 (4.2% abv). My favorite was the Oatmeal Stout (4.6% abv), but I was surprisingly pleased enough with the Cute Little Blond (4.4% abv) that when I had the option of ordering a pint of it at dinner in Greenwich, I did so.
There were also some guest taps that we sampled. I really liked the Shandy (3.9% abv) from Woodland Farm Brewery in Utica. A Black Current Cider (6.9% abv) from Slyboro Ciderhouse in Granville looked like, but was not as tart as, a lambic. And finally, the Saratoga Cider (6.9% abv) from the nearby Saratoga Apple in Schuylerville was dry and full of apple flavor from thirteen different varieties.
No matter which of the Argyle Brewery tasting rooms you go to, you’re sure to be greeted by friendly knowledgeable staff and treated to some really tasty brews. Remember to bring your growler too.
10. Ashville Game Farm and Exotic Zoo

I been here twice with my daughter, and the last time (most recent) took her friends. We had once again a really enjoyable time. The zoo is small but which is nice since you dont feel rushed on skipping through the animal exibits. The other great thing is its very quiet so you can enjoy your time interacting with the animals. I think we spend about 1 1/5 hrs just feeding the deer. I would strongly recommened this zoo to anybody who loves animals and wants to spend qualty time with their familys. Ps make sure you bring some extra $1.00 bills so you can feed the animals.
